PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE.

LEGAL AGREEMENT

 

By entering the Website, and/or any page accessible on this site, and/or by purchasing products from Computerstar through the Website, or dealing with Computerstar in any way through the Website, you accept, without limitation or qualification, the terms and conditions set out below (the “Terms”) without modification. By accessing and using this Website, including (without limitation) purchasing products, you acknowledge that you are bound by the Terms.

If you do not wish to be bound by the Terms you should not access or use the Website

Computerstar may modify the Terms in its absolute discretion from time to time without individual notice to you. You will be deemed to have accepted any modifications if you continue to use the Website after they have been posted.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATING TO SALES OF PRODUCTS

 

Contract

You will indicate by completing the appropriate order form on the Site the products that you wish to order. At the same time you will complete an authorisation for us to recover, through your credit or debit card, payments due to us.

Your order shall constitute an offer to us to purchase the Products specified in the order. We may accept or decline the order. If we acknowledge your order that shall not constitute an acceptance of it. If we accept the order we shall notify you of our acceptance (in these Terms “Acceptance“) by email, and we shall confirm the price. We shall at the same time notify you of the identifying number (in these Terms the “Order Number“) for your order and you will be required to quote it in any subsequent communications. Only at that point will a contract for the sale and purchase of Products come into being.

Computerstar reserves the right in its discretion to decline to accept any order and/or to supply Products to any individual or company. If we decline to accept, or cancel, an order for which we have received payment, we shall refund the payment, but shall have no further or other liabilities.

Entire Agreement

Each order, Acceptance of each order and the supply of Products by Computerstar pursuant to an order shall be governed by these Terms. These Terms constitute the entire understanding between you and Computerstar in relation to any Products ordered and supplied through the Website. They supersede any other terms stipulated by you, whether in any order or during negotiations or any course of dealing established between you and us.

All descriptions, illustrations and indications or price of Products provided on this Website or otherwise communicated to you are for guidance only and intended merely to present a general idea of the Products. Nothing contained in any such description, illustration indication of price shall form any part of these Terms.

Price

The prices of the Products shall be those specified by Computerstar to you from time to time in accordance with the provisions headed “Orders and Contracts” above. Prices quoted on the Website are indicative only and are subject to change.

All prices on the Website are inclusive of United Kingdom VAT and exclusive of postage and packing. A summary of these postage and packing charges can be found at our delivery charges information page.

Prices on the Website may differ from those in Computerstar stores.

Delivery and Availability

Computerstar shall deliver Products ordered by you to a courier or postal service of Computerstar’s choice to the delivery address that you have given us. By accepting these Terms, you agree irrevocably to appoint and do appoint the courier or postal service to be your agent for taking delivery of the Products on your behalf, and delivery to the courier or postal service shall be deemed to be delivery to you.

If you are resident in the UK, Computerstar shall wherever applicable, instruct the courier or postal service to deliver the Products to the address in the UK that you give us.

All delivery is subject to availability and time shall not be of the essence. We have indicated on the Website whether or not a Product is currently “in stock” (i.e. available in our warehouse for dispatch) or our estimate on when the Product will be available for dispatch. However, this is an estimate only, should not be relied upon and may be subject to change. If there is any delay, will notify you of this and give you a new delivery time. As we process your order, we will also notify you if any Products unfortunately are not available. [If a Product is not immediately available for delivery, orders placed will be held and you will not be charged until the Product(s) are dispatched.]

If you are a Consumer (i.e. a natural person who, in contracts to which the Consumer (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 apply, is acting for purposes that outside his or her business), Computerstar shall endeavour to deliver Products ordered by you within seven (7) working days of the day of receipt of your order. If delivery within seven (7) working days is not possible Computerstar shall notify you of the delay and give you a new delivery time.

Inspection, Delivery Delays and Non-Delivery

Nothing in this clause affects your statutory rights pursuant to the provisions headed “Right to Cancel and Returns” below.

You must inspect the Products as soon as is reasonably practicable after delivery. Within fourteen (14) working days of delivery you shall notify Computerstar in detail and in writing of any defect in the Products or of any other complaint that you may have in relation to the Products. If you fail to give notice in accordance with this clause, the Products shall be conclusively presumed to be in all respects in accordance with the order and free from any defect that would be apparent on reasonable examination, and you shall be deemed to have accepted the Products accordingly.

Subject to the conditions set out below, if you establish to our reasonable satisfaction that any Products are not in accordance with these Terms or any other contract between us or are defective, your sole remedy shall be limited (as Computerstar may elect) to the replacement of the Products or refund to you of the purchase price and any delivery costs or, where sums are owed by you to us, the issue of a credit note or a credit card account refund against return of the Products. If we require you to return the Products to us and they are defective we shall reimburse your reasonable postage cost of returning them. These remedies are subject to the following conditions:

  1. the claim is made in writing to Computerstar within three (3) months after Acceptance, or such other period as may be indicated by us for specific Products from time to time;
  2. the Products or parts to which the claim relates are returned to Computerstar within that period suitably packaged and carriage-paid and, where relevant, in accordance with any particular instructions that we may have notified to you at the time of supply. Returned Products or parts must be accompanied by an advice note stating the Identifying Number and the nature of any claimed defect, together with such further information as Computerstar may at the time of supply have stipulated.

You shall make any queries regarding shortages of Products by reference to the Acceptance:

  1. within seven (7) working days of the date of the Acceptance;
  2. in writing; and
  3. quoting the Identifying Number.

Queries regarding Products where we notify you of dispatch but they are not received by you must be made within seven (7) working days of the date of Acceptance, and the Identifying Number must be quoted. Without prejudice to the provisions under the headings “Passing of Risk and Property” and “Liability” and the force majeure provisions below, Computerstar need not entertain any query made thereafter.

Passing of Risk and Property

Risk of loss or damage to, and title to, the Products shall pass to you at the time of delivery of the Products to the courier or postal service as described under “Delivery” above.

Right to Cancel and Returns

If you are wishing to return Products because they are faulty please see the “Inspection, Delivery Delays and Non-Delivery” paragraph above. You may also return any Products within fourteen (14) days of receipt for whatever reason. Further details of your right to cancel are given in the e-mail confirming your order.

In addition to your right to return Products within 14 days, if you are a Consumer (i.e. a natural person who, in contracts to which the Consumer (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 apply, is acting for purposes that outside his or her business), you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within seven (7) working days of the date the Product is delivered. All customers who cancel under this statutory “cooling off period” shall be entitled to a full refund. Any customers who would like to cancel an order pursuant to this statutory right should contact our customer services team (see “Customer Services” below for contact details).

If we have not yet dispatched the Product, you may cancel your order by logging into your account on the website and accessing your order history. If the item is showing as “awaiting dispatch” this means we have not dispatched your order and you may cancel it online.

If you would like to return any Product which is not defective in accordance with this clause, please note that we will not refund any delivery costs paid by you as part of your initial order.

Liability

Nothing in these Terms shall be read as limiting Computerstars liability for death or personal injury arising from a wrongful act or omission on our part.

Computerstar will be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of us breaching these conditions if the losses were reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the Website, or a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed. We will not be responsible for any economic or business loss (including loss of profits, revenue, contracts, anticipated savings, data, goodwill or wasted expenditure) or for any indirect of consequential loss that is not reasonably foreseeable to both you and us when you commenced using the Website or when a contract for the sale of goods by us to you was formed. Computerstar does not limit in any way our liability for death or personal injury.

Nothing in these Terms shall affect your statutory rights. If you have any doubts as to your statutory rights then you should contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau or refer to the Office of Fair Tradings website.
